Patent CA-2487205-A1 (CA)
Title: Vehicle occupant sensing system
Inventor: SHIEH SHIUH-HA
IPC: B60N2/90
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: A vehicle occupancy sensing system provides a mechanism for determining whether a child is present in a vehicle. The sensing system may determine that an occupied front or rear facing child seat is present in an automobile, for example. To that end, the sensing system may employ a reliable electrode sensing system that may be conveniently installed in one or more locations in the vehicle seats. The sensing system thereby helps reduce occurrences of the potentially devastating consequences of unintentionally leaving a child in a vehicle.

Title: Multiple matching control method
Inventor: KSONTINI RACHED
IPC: H04N7/16
Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: The aim of the invention is to match a security module with one or several host devices in an environment wherein the host module is not provided with a link to the management center. This is achieved by a method for controlling the matching between a first device, such as a removable security module, an d a second device, such as a host device. Said matching consists in securing data exchange with the aid of a single matching key. The method consists in verifying the matching between the two devices and using the single matching key if matching has already been carried out. If this is not the case, an empty space is sought in the spaces reserved for matching data in the first case. If this is the case, a matching procedure is initiated wherein a cryptogram, which is contained in the second device, is transmitted, containing an identifier which is specific to said device. Said cryptogram i s encrypted by a secret key which is common to all of the first devices. The cryptogram is decrypted by the first device and the identifier of the second device is extracted therefrom. A matching key based on this identifier is generated. The data for matching with the second device is stored in the fir st device.

Abstract: A three dimensional decorative assembly features an inner member suspended for rotation within an opening in an outer member. Each member is made of differently coloured sheet metal and includes a plurality of strips extending between aligned spines at opposite ends on each side of said spines, The strips are progressively longer moving outward from the center of the assembly. In each member, the strips are spaced apart by a distance between an inner edge of one strip and an outer edge of an adjacent strip. In addition, an angle between adjacent strips angularly spaces the plurality of strips of each member about an axis defined by the spines thereof. Together, the inner edges of the shortest strip on each side of the spines of the outer member define the opening therein. Pivot supports are used to suspend the outer member for free rotation and suspend the Inner member within the opening of said outer member such that each member can rotate independently about the axis defined by its spines.

Title: Method for treating elevated intraocular pressure, including glaucoma
Inventor: SOLL DAVID B
IPC: A61K9/00
Filed: 2004-02-04
Abstract: Hyaluronic acid, a polymer found in the trabecular meshwork of the eye, has a polymeric structure that is broken down by the enzyme hyaluronidase. A method is provided for reducing elevated intraocular pressure in an eye of a patient, such as a patient suffering from glaucoma, by administering modified hyaluronidase to the surface of the eye as a drop, spray, ointment, sustained-release or non-sustained release unit, and allowing the hyaluronidase to remain within the anterior chamber of the eye. The hyaluronidase is modified to enhance penetration through the corneal barrier, and is administered in an amount effective to reduce an elevated intraocular pressure. The method thus reduces the elevated intraocular pressure in the eye of a glaucoma patient without undesirable side effects.
